The 1941 Farm Outlook For Georgia
1$ Gloomier Than In Recent Years
Somewhat gloomier prospects for
1941 Georgia farm family living
were predicted this week by the Ag
ricultural Extension Service in its
annual outlook report prepared by
staff specialists.
Viewed in terms of net cash avail
able for farm living, Georgia’s in
come from agriculture in 1941 will
fall far short of providing adequate
ly for the well-being of all farm
families, the Extension report said.
However, it declared that farm fam
ilies, whether their income be high
or low, can benefit from wise man
agement of their resources.
The 1941 outlook said practically
every rural family will feel the im
pact of war abroad and the influ
ence of the defense program at home
through: 1. Closing of foreign mar
kets to United States cotton and to
bacco. 2. Revisions in the tax pro
gram to help pay for defense. 3.
Higher operating expenses and la
bor costs, and 4. Higher prices for
goods and services purchased by the
farm family.
“Income in kind” from home-pro
duced goods and services was cited
in the report as a factor of great
significance in determining the fam
ily’s level of living during the com
ing year. All faimlies—owners, ten
ants, and sharecroppers—can bene
fit from wise use of land for pro
ducing a home food supply adapted
to their tastes and needs. Farm-fur
nished food can contribute much to
the nutritive adequacy of family
diets, while wood and other farm
furnished goods and services are a
cushion in times of great stress.
Food and feed production on the
farm is expected to undergo expan
sion in 1941. To supply the food
and feed needs would require a shift
of 2.7 percent of the cropland in
Georgia to these crops, in addition
to the acreage now being used for
this type of production, the Exten
sion prospective outlook explained.

THE JACKSON PROGRESS-ARGUS, JACKSON, GEORGIA
are expected to be higher due to big
demand for leather by the army and
the bigger prices for hides. Cotton
cloth is not expected to be higher in
price.
A somewhat better outlook for
housing and health improvements is
predicted for Georgia farm families,
despite the anticipated increase in
prices of building materials and la
bor. Continued co-operation and as
sistance of various agencies was term
ed as principal reasons for 1941 im
provement of these conditions.
Cash outlays for lighting and
1 heating the home are expected to be
about the same as in 1940. Fur
-1 nishings will probably be higher in
price, while rates for electric cur
jrent will probably remain about the
same. 1941 is expected to bring
many opportunities for improving
the farm family’s social and cultural
life.
Home sewing will come into its
own during the coming year, the Ex
tension report predicts. Asa re
sult, Georgia farm families are ex
pected to live-at-home to a greater
extent from the standpoint of bought
ready-made garments.
Efficiency and wise management
of all resources on the farm and in
the home is urged by Agricultural
Extension workers as a means of
improving the farm family living sit
uation in Georgia for 1941, despite
the many handicaps now in prospect
for the new year.
Farm workers recommended that
families would do well to raise a
few veal calves to six or eight weeks
old for the family meats and in sec
tions of the state, where practical,
a few spring lambs for the table. A
family-size poultry flock of 20 to
I
40 chickens was also favored by the
agricultural specialists, as well as
production of plenty of milk and
butter.
Funeral Rites For
Mrs, Ethel Mixon
Burial service for Mrs. Ethel
Mixon, who died January 2 at a
private hospital in Atlanta, were
conducted at the Jackson cemetery
Saturday afternoon. Interment was
in the Fletcher lot with Howard L.
Carmichael, funeral director, in
charge.
Mrs. Mixon was the former Miss
Ethel Fletcher, daughter of Will
Fletcher and Mrs. Emma Moore
Fletcher. She was born and reared
here and was the widow of Slaton
Carmichael before her marriage to
Mr. Mixon. For several years she
taught in the public schools at East
Point. She had been ill of pneu
monia for several days preceding
her death.
She was a sister of the late
Messrs. T. B. and C. W. Fletcher
and Mrs. W. H. Foster.
Mrs. Mixon was 57 years of age
and is survived by one son, D. N.
Carmichael, of Birmingham, and a
grandson, David Bryant Carmichael.
Funeral services were held Sat
urday at 10 a. m. at the East Point
Methodist church with the Rev. E.
C. Wilson and the Rev. Ralph L.
Ramsey officiating.
REPAIRS MADE
COUNTY JAIL TO
BE PAINTED AND
The Butts county jail will be
painted on the interior, the walls
j repaired and screens fixed, accord
ing to decision of the Butts county
! commissioners at their meeting Mon
day. Minor repairs now will save
expenses later, it is explained.
The building will be occupied by
Mrs. W. D. Pope, mother of Sheriff
John D. Pope.
The Butts county jail, built as a
PWA project a few years ago, is
a fire-proof building and was erec
ted at a cost of approximately
$27,000.
The heart of the conservation
i
program is human welfare.

Miscellany
An editorial in last week’s Sat
evepost shows that America is right
now in a military alliance with Bri
tain, but doesn’t know it.
It was a phrase according to the
Post that did the work. That phrase,
“all aid short of war.” All that is
needed to get our naval forces in,
is to send in the flag. And that,
this editorial says, will come when
our own convoys are used to safe
guard British merchant ships. This
already is being recommended.
After all, it is perhaps as Ameri
ca wants it. A Gallup poll recently
showed that 85% of America thinks
Britain will lose if not given Amer
ica’s all-out aid. And all of us want
England to survive.
Thoughts about Jackson:
The little town must to some de
gree have what it takes. There are
the Ropers, for instance, just hop
ing some day to get back home.
They were here Sunday, visiting
around, and looking like a million.
. . . . Thelma and David had the
pulpit chairs upholstered, so now
the minister is “sitting pretty.” The
same to the Settles. . . . One
church-goer remarked that at least
in one way he was not a stumbling
to other feet: he always moved to
the middle of the pew, so as not to

Vespers. The word derives in a
way from “Hesper,” meaning even

vespers as a quiet, prayerful, medita
tive service, it can indeed, and with
us, does take on what we dislike to
call “pep” songs and stirring ser
mons. In any case, a worshipful
heart will find adjustment. . . .

CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS
COMPLIMENTED BY VISITORS
Mr. and Mrs. Waldo Abbott of
Ann Arbor, Michigan, who were
guests a portion of the holidays of
Mr. and Mrs. O. A. Pound, took time
out from the many pleasures of the
Pound home to comment favorably
on Jackson’s Christmas decorations,
both the municipal lighting and also
the homes. Said Mr. and Mrs. Ab
bott: “We’ve passed through a lot
of towns about the size of Jackson
on our way down south, but we
haven’t seen any so pretty or deco
rated in such good taste. We just
enjoy riding around and seeing the
home decorations as well as those
furnished by the city.”
Dr. Abbott holds the chair of
Radio, just recently inaugurated at
the University of Michigan, and has.
written several text books on broad
casting. They enjoyed a week in
Florida and were en route home.
keep silence,” would give an embar
rassing long pause after those words,
that person who talks out loud in
the back might take shame and con
fusion. Hope so, any way. . . .
The friendliest person for 1941 will
be the one who leaves the church
the last. Will it be you? . . . .
Mr. Downs is brave. He’s not afraid
of an a capella chorus. At the Ecu
menical, we were told one stanza
of every hymn should be sung with
out instrument. . . . The J. D.
Joneses are not only printing all
the Jackson news. They are just
about making all the news. There’s
the first grandchild, and Doyle’s
marriage. . . . The birth of a
child is one of the old earth’s great
est events.
